WTF???

I do believe Nick has successfully managed to kill off any chance of salvaging a relationship with Aaron.

Aaron and my Brother, Jamie, have a very close relationship which has always been a point of jealousy for Nick. To explain, Jamie is disabled and won't have any children of his own so is very close to all his neices but is particularly close to Aaron. Jamie was the first person I told I was pregnant with Aaron and he was always the first to volunteer to look after him - depite only being 16 when Aaron was born.

I found out this evening that while Aaron was with him last weekend, Nick had, whilst driving past Jamie's house, said to Aaron "Why don't you get Jamie to adopt you, if he's man enough."

Now this was devastating to Aaron for two reasons:
Nick was saying he didn't want him.
Nick was making fun of Jamie's disability.

Aaron was so upset that it has taken FIVE days for him to tell anyone!

So - to cap that, Nick was being a total bastard tonight as well. When I was putting Gemima to bed he decided to go have a man to man chat with Aaron.

Aaron and Gemima's bedroom doors are directly opposite so I could see and hear everything Nick was saying - and it wasn't good.

Basically - in a nutshell, Nick told Aaron that he and I did not love each other any more - to quote "Point of fact I think we hate each other".

It was awful - I was watching Aaron's face as he said that and I could clearly see something in his eyes just die. He actively pulled away from Nick and I had to stop myself from kicking the bastard. When I stood up and walked towards the door he kicked it shut in my face twice and demanded to talk to Aaron in private. Naturally I wasn't going to let that happen and asked him why he thought I would when he had just told Aaron he hates his mother. Nick's response was to tell me he was going to say the same to Gemima.

He then told Aaron not to be upset and tried to hug him. I pointed out that Aaron was probably more upset when he had told him to get my brother to adopt him....

Nick's reaction...... he laughed.

Fucking shit!

He also said he will tell Gemima about the divorce before he marched downstairs to sleep on the sofa.
